Synopsis
From the bestselling author of the Library Mouse series comes a charming story about the changing seasons
Mouse, Bird, Bear, and Rabbit are friends. Though Mouse, Bird, and Bear love winter, they're all excited that spring is finally here. But not Rabbit. He thinks that spring can only spell trouble: He won't be able to make snow bunnies, the days are too long, and it rains all the time. Rabbit's list goes on and on. But his friends can always counter his complaints with something good that spring brings: warm days, lots of good food, blooming flowers'until Rabbit admits that spring is full of pleasant surprises. The book includes punch-out finger puppets that will add value to this sweet eight-by-eight paperback.

Reviews
PreS-Gr 1—Rabbit is grumpy. While his friends Bird, Mouse, and Bear extol the highlights of the changing season, Rabbit sees only the negative in warming temperatures. He's sad that winter is over and all the snow is melting. That means there will be no more snow forts or throwing snowballs or easily tracking his friends. For each criticism Rabbit voices, his buddies explain why the changes are positive: "'The thing about spring,' said Rabbit, 'is that it rains when you're not expecting it!' 'But rain brings out the flowers,' said Mouse. 'And the worms,' said Bird." Illustrations, created using pen and ink with their color and texture added digitally, are varied and pleasing. When Rabbit discovers that winter has left him one last gift, he finally smiles about the inevitable change. VERDICT A fun and engaging addition to seasonal collections.—Maryann H. Owen, Children's Literature Specialist, Mt. Pleasant, WI
